• Rocks and Stars

  You ever get the feeling that life is passing you by? Or in the words of Mark Schultz, "I'm runnin just to catch myself." I remember laughing along with my brothers to this song, but it's so true. Sometimes you're just doing too much.

  On the tail end of a crazy week, I got the opportunity to take some of my girls and a few friends bouldering. At first we thought we were going rock climbing... not really knowing the difference in terminology. (And I just blew my chance to let you guys think I do this thing all the time.) So, all of us novices, we showed up to the huge warehouse looking around for ropes and harnesses. Come to find out, bouldering doesn't require harnesses or ropes. You just climb... with nothing.

  After my initial freak out, we actually had a lot of fun. It was a relatively short distance to the ceiling, and then you just drop off onto the mattresses below. The warehouse it was located in was a mom-n-pop kind of place... kids and even a puppy running all over the place. 

  Last night our girls on staff kindnapped each other and drove down to one of the soccer fields. All bundled up in hats, gloves, and blankets, we laid down in centerfield with our heads together and talked about our favorite memories on staff this year. I could see a lone little star through the thick canopy of fog overhead. It was a late night, but well worth the company :)
